Ingredients

  • 3 small-to-medium sweet potatoes, washed, ends trimmed and cut in half lengthwise
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to season
  • 1 (15-ounce) can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
  • 6 ounces canned tuna, drained and flaked with a fork
  • 1/4 cup onion, diced small
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped, plus extra for garnish
  • Optional: plain Greek yogurt to drizzle

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking pan with aluminum foil. Drizzle the olive oil over the sweet potatoes and rub with your hands. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes have softened.
  3. While the potatoes are baking, combine the beans, tuna, onion, garlic, lemon juice, parsley, and salt and black pepper to taste. Set aside.
  4. Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and use a spoon to carefully smash the flesh of the potatoes so it softens and creates a bit of a well.
  5. Allow the sweet potatoes to cool slightly, then evenly divide the tuna mixture between all the halves, spooning it over the tops.
  6. Garnish by drizzling with plain Greek yogurt, and some torn parsley.

Welcome to Grab a Plate!

Growing up surrounded by my Italian family it was always, "grab a plate" whenever anyone came to visit. Food was always a celebration, even everyday meals, and I like it that way. I try to make each meal memorable with my recipes for mainly meatless, mostly healthy, and easy-to-make dishes (with sweet treats in between).
